"Few D.J.’s have such a tactile way with rhythm, and still fewer have the disposition to harness that rhythm to such moody atmospherics." - NY Times “DJ Shadow is a sort of sonic Merlin: He's known and revered for his buoyant beats, hypnotic loops and dark textural expanses, but he leads listeners to places where a nightlight, and even sunlight, can be glimpsed." - NPR What this timely 'Best Of' proves is how considered his work has been, and how it's subtly redirected his destinctive identity into new areas... Two CDs, beautifully curated, making 'Reconstructed' the definitive DJ Shadow experience." - DJ Times "The true measure of Shadow is the moody brilliance he has been able to conjure from his unlimited palatte." - The Mail on Sunday "His soulful, dense, addictive and slamming instrumental hip-hop brought together rap heads, metal kids, indie fans and dance music lovers... Put simply, a genius at work." - Mixmag "In 1996, he rewrote the rules of music. That's worth celebrating." - The Sunday Times "Sounding like nothing before, [Entroducing...] showed there were few limits to the music that could be made by one man and his record collection. Since then, David has continued to innovate..." - The Observer |
DJ Shadow Kicks Off All Basses Covered Tour 2013 There are few DJs who stand the test of time through their innovative ways of music productions. Take for instance, this San Francisco based DJ and producer who continues to set standards falling into the exception rather than the rule in today's electronic music frenzy. Rolling Stone included DJ Shadow's groundbreaking Endtroducing album in both The 100 Best Debut Albums of All Time and The 100 Best Albums of the Nineties; sporting how "This is DJ culture at its boldest: steeped in the past but zooming into the Space Age future." In 2012, All Basses Covered reflected material from a variety of sounds ranging from hard core rap to footwork and juke, to dubstep and beyond as a showcase of memorable mixtapes and new releases. This year however, DJ Shadow will incorporate unreleased productions and live remixes by switching from playing on drum pads to digital software and Pioneer CDJs. As a 28-year veteran of the electronic music scene, he credits his staying power to knowing when and how to adapt. However, DJ Shadow stays true to his old-school hip-hop and disc jockey roots, saying in a Quietus interview, "To me it doesn’t matter if it’s a crate of records or a stack of CDs or a playlist of MP3s. I still buy vinyl and I would still prefer to play vinyl where possible." When asked if DJ Shadow minds using digital DJing software, he joked around saying, "There is one thing I will say. If Serato gives you access to thousands of songs, why are all the DJs still playing the same ten songs over and over and over again?" Read the full interview by The QuietusHERE. This Spring is your chance to witness the legend himself. As DJ Shadow brings back the All Basses Covered 2013 tour, he is set to premier a slew of new antics across the United States. The tour will display a whole new take on DJ Shadow's typical mixing style, while still throwing down his distinctive sound that brings people of all different musical tastes and backgrounds together to enjoy. Later this week, DJ Shadow kicks things off in his hometown at San Francisco 's legendary Low End Theory for a rather intimate show on April 5. As opposed to last year's tour, All Basses Covered 2013 will be hosted by venues who value the communal experience of music and high-quality sound overexclusivity and bottle service. By playing in quality atmospheres like Brooklyn's new Funktion-One Sound System club, Output on April 11, and the legendary outdoor amphitheater, Red Rocks in Colorado on June 1; DJ Shadow will truly be able to stand behind his sophisticated sound.
